Allen racked up over 100 receptions for the first time in his career in 2017, amassing 102 catches on 159 targets for 1,393 yards and six touchdowns. Of those 159 targets, 147 were deemed catchable by Pro Football Focus, and his 107.3 quarterback rating, when quarterback Philip Rivers looked his way, was good for No. 7 in the NFL, per PFF.

The five-year veteran also made NFL history in 2017 by becoming the first receiver to record 10 or more receptions, 100 or more yards and one touchdown in three consecutive games, yielding the Pro Football Hall of Fame to retire his game-worn jersey.
